Dutch Formula One commentators Olav Mol and Jack Plooij are launching a new live pre-race program on the streaming platform KIJK, starting on Sunday, June 7, 2026, at the Monaco Grand Prix.
The half-hour show titled 'GP Voorbeschouwing met Olav en Jack' will air from the Grand Prix Radio studio, concluding 15 minutes before the race begins.

The program offers free race previews, paddock updates, and strategic insights without requiring a subscription. This presents direct competition to Viaplay's broadcasting services.
"Juist nu er zoveel informatie beschikbaar is, is het heel waardevol om een race vooraf te duiden. Zo krijgt de liefhebber beter inzicht in wat er kan gebeuren.
Jack en ik vullen dat aan met veel anekdotes van alle races en circuits op de kalender," said Olav Mol.
Mol will continue providing live race commentary through Grand Prix Radio, which secured F1 radio rights for the next three years.
This arrangement follows a collaborative agreement with Viaplay, the company currently holding the primary live television broadcasting rights in the Netherlands alongside F1 TV Pro.
Viaplay representative William Linders stated that the multi-year radio rights agreement stabilizes the market and offers fans maximum choice.
Grand Prix Radio executive Gerard Timmer noted that the three-year contract allows further investment in quality and innovation.
"Wij geloven in een sterke, geïntegreerde sportbeleving.
Door de radiorechten voor meerdere jaren bij Grand Prix Radio onder te brengen, creëren we stabiliteit voor de markt dan duidelijker voor de fan," said William Linders.
